cystadenoma is a rare benign salivary gland tumor that chiefly originates in the minor salivary glands as a cystic growth with papillary projections into the cystic lumen without the lymphoid element. it is further classified into two histopathological variants that have been recognized by world health organization as the papillary and the mucinous forms of cystadenoma. clinically, it is diffic...

Myoepithelioma is a rare benign neoplasm of salivary glands. Accounts for less than 1% of all salivary gland neoplasms. It is more common in parotid glands foIIowed by small salivary glands. Myoepithelioma once was considered as extreme variant of pleomorphic adenoma. But now many authors consider the myoepithelioma as distinct pathological entity as it i of myoepithelial cells and behaves more...

BACKGROUND Pleomorphic adenomas are benign salivary gland tumors, which predominantly affect the superficial lobe of the parotid gland. The "pleomorphic" nature of the tumor can be explained on the basis of its epithelial and connective tissue origin. The tumor has a female predilection between 30-50 years of age. Slowly progressing asymptomatic swelling is the usual presentation of the tumor. ...

Background: Salivary gland neoplasms are morphologically diverse with variable histology, clinical behavior, and tumor grade. Moreover, specific gene translocations fusions associated some types of SGNs. Aim: To evaluate the prevalence salivary diagnosed in Cairo's educational hospitals to compare results findings literature. Materials Methods: Data between 2010 2019 were collected from files h...

introduction sialolithiasis is the most common disease of salivary glands. sialography is particularly important for the assessment of the outflow tract and in diagnosing obstructive salivary gland lesions including calculi. case presentation we report on a 38-year-old female with sialolithiasis whom had wharton’s duct perforation, complicating the sialography. she was treated conservatively wi...

salivary gland involvement is one of the radioiodine therapy complications. salivary gland scintigraphy in quantitative mode can accurately evaluate salivary gland function. methods: salivary gland scintigraphy was performed with tc-99m pertechnetate, at the time of iodine therapy as a basic study and then 3 weeks and 3 months afterwards. ejection fraction (ef) of parotid and submandibular glan...

The origin of a salivary gland tumour is attributed to cells at various levels of differentiation which present histologically as diverse tissues and cellular patterns. Mitochondria-rich, eosinophilic oncocytes are cells commonly encountered in salivary gland neoplasms. We report a case of mucoepidermoid carcinoma (MEC) in the palate of a 43-year-old female that exhibited a prominent oncocytic ...

Myoepithelial carcinomas are quite infrequent neoplasms and coupled with their diverse morphological appearance are interesting as far as diagnosis and management is concerned. They account for less than 1% of all salivary gland tumors. The variable morphologic appearance of myoepithelial carcinoma leads to a wide differential diagnosis, including primary salivary gland tumors and metastatic tu...
